Chapter 1983: Clues of the Jade Talisman

Translator: Legge 

Every single step the iron tower man took left a deep footprint on the ground!

In the blink of an eye, three of the experts of the four immortal sects retreated.

At the same time, the blue-dressed woman’s killing move descended.

Su Zimo did not turn back at all. As though he had eyes behind him, he closed two fingers and conjured a sword art, waving it behind him!

Chi!

After condensing the Heaven Slaying Sword Art, at least a hundred sword qi spewed out at the same time and formed a sword.

Sensing the terror of the sword, the blue-dressed woman’s expression changed starkly as she stopped in her tracks and retreated.

She wanted to stop but she was still a step too late.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The sound of metal clashing echoed as the blue-dressed woman’s ten fingernails were snapped by the Heaven Slaying Sword Qi!

Pieces of fingernails scattered on the ground with a purplish-green poisonous glow.

Against the encirclement of the experts of the four immortal sects, Su Zimo counterattacked domineeringly and forced all four of them back!

On the other side, Tang Ziyi who was already fighting Fang Xuan was temporarily relieved.

“Hahahaha!”

Su Zimo burst into laughter and looked down at the four of them. “Not bad. You guys are quite capable to be able to escape from my hands unscathed.”

“How arrogant!”

The middle-aged Daoist’s expression darkened as he hollered.

However, the other three remained silent with ugly expressions.

Su Zimo’s words were indeed extremely piercing and arrogant.

However, the three of them knew that Su Zimo was not lying at all.

The moment the bald monk collided with the Great Chaos Essence Palm, he sensed that something was amiss and retreated in time so he was not injured.

If he had retreated slightly slower, both his arms might have been ground into a pulp by the Great Chaos Essence Palm!

The reason why the iron tower man was able to withstand Su Zimo’s punch was because he had made use of a secret skill to redirect his opponent’s attack into the ground through his body.

That was the reason why his three steps left such deep footprints on the ground.

It was even more dangerous for the blue-dressed woman.

She specialized in the Dao of poison and the power of her body and bloodline was far inferior to the bald monk and the iron tower man, let alone Su Zimo.

If she had dodged slower earlier on, both her arms would have been severed by the Heaven Slaying Sword Qi!

The four of them came from the four immortal sects and had the lowest status in the sect.

However, cultivators who could enter the immortal sects should be far superior to their peers even if they were the most inferior servants!

To think that the four of them would encounter such a ruthless person in the Emperor’s Tomb.

On the other side, Yun Ting who was watching the battle had a conflicted expression.

Earlier on, he merely said that he could resolve the encirclement of the four of them.

To think that not only did Su Zimo resolve it, he even counterattacked forcefully and nearly injured the experts of the four immortal sects!

On the other side, Tang Ziyi and Fang Xuan fought continuously and it was difficult to determine the victor.

Although Tang Ziyi cultivated the Dao of assassination, her physique and bloodline were extraordinary and her foundation was extremely firm. Even if she were to fight against paragons and monster incarnates head-on, she would not be disadvantaged at all.

The more Fang Xuan fought, the more alarmed he became.

He ascended after the Four of Nine Heavenly Tribulation and was invincible in the lower worlds. Even in the upper world, he had not encountered any opponents.

Initially, in his eyes, Yun Ting, Su Zimo and the experts of the four immortal sects might be the only ones who could threaten him.

He did not take Tang Ziyi seriously at all.

To think that this seemingly ordinary woman would be so troublesome and terrifying.

Her attacks were unpredictable and they were all killing moves!

There were even a few times when he was almost severely injured!

“Where did this person come from?!”

Fang Xuan cursed internally.

Right then, a jade green light burst forth from the distant horizon and soared into the skies. However, it disappeared quickly.

Many cultivators were shocked and fell into deep thought.

Su Zimo saw the green light as well.

“Could it be the jade talisman?”

None of them had any clues about the jade talisman. The sudden appearance of the green light caused everyone to make guesses.

After a brief silence, cultivators moved and sped in the direction of the jade talisman.

“Your Highness, what about us?”

A cultivator of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom asked softly.

“Let’s take a look over there first. I’m bent on getting my hands on both the jade talisman and Heaven Slaying Sword Art!”

Yun Ting pondered for a moment with a deep gaze. “Let’s find the jade talisman first. We won’t lose track of Su Zimo.”

Pausing for a moment, he smiled. “In my judgment, apart from me, no one in the Emperor’s Tomb can stop him.”

“Your Highness, you seem to think highly of him?”

Someone behind Yun Ting could tell what he was implying.

Yun Ting nodded slightly. “This person is very talented and cultivated the Heaven Slaying Sword Art. We can be considered to be fated.”

“However, he ascended from the lower worlds and it’s difficult for him to stand out in the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom. The only chance for him to make his mark in the Nine Firmament is if he follows me!”

The cultivator smiled. “Your Highness, in the upper world, there’s almost no one else who treats cultivators of the lower worlds equally like you. It’s his fortune if he can be recruited by you.”

Yun Ting shook his head and smiled. “Not necessarily. Anyone with such talent and combat strength is a monster incarnate. They’re prideful and difficult to recruit.”

“I have to defeat him and convince him before I can take him under my wing.”

With that said, Yun Ting glanced at Su Zimo again and led the many cultivators of the Zi Xuan Immortal Kingdom in the direction of the green light.

“Fang Xuan, let’s ignore that woman and look for the jade talisman first. We can’t let anyone seize the initiative!”

The voice of Old Man Ge sounded in Fang Xuan’s mind.

Bang!

On the battlefield, Fang Xuan clashed head-on with Tang Ziyi and retreated. Waving the lightning on his fist, he sneered, “I’m not playing with you anymore. We’ll fight again next time!”

“You’ll die the next time,”

Tang Ziyi said indifferently.

“Haha!”

Fang Xuan burst into laughter. “You want to kill me? You’re far from that!”

The moment he said that, Fang Xuan turned and sped back to Old Man Ge’s side and left with everyone from the Yan Yang Immortal Kingdom.

The experts of the four immortal sects who were initially confronting Su Zimo wanted to retreat as well.

The mission given to them by the sect was to search for the jade talisman, not the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng.

If they continued to fight with Su Zimo here and lost sight of the big picture because of this, they would be punished when they returned even if they could get their hands on the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng.

At that thought, the experts of the four immortal sects exchanged glances and retreated at the same time, leaving with the other cultivators of the sect.

Tang Ziyi came to Su Zimo’s side.

There were more than a hundred people from the Great Jin Immortal Kingdom who entered the Emperor’s Tomb and they were the only ones left.

“Seems like everyone has the same goal—the jade talisman,”

Su Zimo murmured softly.

Tang Ziyi nodded in silent agreement.

Su Zimo frowned in deep thought. “I wonder what’s the origin and secret of this jade talisman to alarm so many sects and factions.”

“In the eyes of these sects and factions, it’s even more important than the Seven Glow Immortal Ginseng,”

Tang Ziyi said, “I guess only someone of Yun Ting’s status can know such a secret.”

“Let’s go take a look too!”

Su Zimo said in a deep voice.

Even without the arrangements of Prince Yuan Zuo, he wanted to see what the jade talisman looked like and what secrets it hid!

Tang Ziyi did not say anything and merely followed behind Su Zimo silently.
